About
welcome to stone meadow gardens
We moved from the beautiful West Kootenays of BC with the hope of slowing down, but life has a funny way of keeping us busy. We’ve called Nova Scotia home since late 2021, and for the last two years, we’ve poured our
hearts into renovating a historic old East Coast house that we now call home.
When we weren't working on the reno, we were working on the field out back getting it ready to be the new home of Stone Meadow. Meanwhile, thanks to the generosity of a neighbor and access to their beautiful land, we've been able to keep up flower farming!
new adventures
It’s been an incredible journey since we first met online (yes, it’s true!) many years ago. Despite neither of us growing up farming, we both found our way to the world of agriculture. Carl ran a composting business and raised a small herd of
dairy cows, and I managed a variety of market gardens and helped run a 1700-acre cattle ranch! Now, ten years into operating our own farm business together, we still find time to play a game of cribbage every day over our morning cup of coffee!
our commitment to the land
We have a firm commitment to caring for the land and the community of plants, animals and people that are all connected to it.
We believe that to grow beautiful, healthy plants you must create a healthy, thriving environment for them to flourish. Starting with a program to nourish and and nurture the soil, we use simple organic and regenerative techniques to build a healthy foundation for our plants for our plants to thrive.
starting from the ground up
In addition to only using nature-based fertilizers and soil amendments, another way we care for the soil is by using cover crops whenever we don't have a "crop" in the ground. Here you can see Carl admiring his late summer planting of oats, peas, tillage radish and clover that will nurture and protect the soil and its underground ecosystem.
